We are building the next generation of conversational AI agents to automate workflows for businesses. Our platform is an AI-native help desk that allows human agents to work alongside AI, increasing automation over time.

You'll thrive in our small, fast-paced startup environment where you can take on significant responsibility.

Requirements

  • Monitoring & Analytics: Implement metrics, dashboards, and alerting to track application and infrastructure performance and spot issues early
  • Collaborative Architecture: Work closely with our frontend and AI engineers to integrate backend modules with the broader platform
  • Scaling: Ensure our AI infrastructure is built to handle growing data volumes and real-time interactions with minimal latency

Qualifications

  • 1+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems
  • This is an on-site role in San Francisco, CA

Benefits

  • Salary: $130k - $190k
  • Equity: 0.10% - 1.00%
  • Visa sponsorship is available (H1B transfers and new visas)
